Implementación de una estación de almacenamiento de probetas de distintos materiales y tamaños controlados por PLCY pantalla táctil para el laboratorio de control y automatización de procesos industriales de la escuela de ingeniería mecánica de la ESPOCH.

Abstract

A storage station specimen of different materials and sizes controlled by PLC and touch screen Control Laboratory and Process Automation School of Mechanical Engineering ESPOCH was implemented. To conceive the team whose assembly formed by modules for monitoring and storage Station, the following guidelines are followed; planning to establish the most suitable man machine interface. For mechanical design module Solidworks, the same software that allowed us to develop assembly drawings was used. For the Fluidsim electropneumatic system software was used, this tool allowed Graceft structure diagram and electronic simulations. The TIA PORTAL software allowed us to set, communicate and Leader language program using different modes of command of the station. For controlling the electrical components, electronic, pneumatic and mechanical operations manual and guide lab for proper use, and preventive maintenance plan was developed to preserve the life, a manual safety equipment and prevent accidents and safeguard the personal safety of users of the station; besides pointing out critical areas where security must be taken exclusively by the danger to them. Finally, with the implementation of the station will have a practical and manipulable computer on which to perform labs in the different subjects taught in the area of automation and power combine theoretical knowledge with practical, thus forming a professional judgment solid, technical, optimal and necessary form students in the Faculty of Mechanics ESPOCH.
